Thanks for stopping by to read my Friday's Fave Five list for the week! If you were here on Wednesday, you know that I got the pathology results from my biopsy. Although the results were not unexpected, they're also not what we were hoping for. Yet, in the midst of it, the blessings are abundant. My FFF list for today includes five reasons for hope!

God is in control. Always has been, always will be. He says, “Be still, and know that I am God...."(Ps. 46:10)

"You won't be going through this alone." These were among the first words I heard from the first friend I told. I've been incredibly blessed by the outpouring of love and support from family, church family, and friends.

The cancer is not invasive. (It still needs to be treated because it has a significant chance of becoming invasive.) Thank God it was detected early!

Although I've only met the surgeon once, I have confidence in her. That doesn't mean, however, that I won't be praying for wisdom and skill as we move forward.

It's been just less than a month since the radiologist recommended a biopsy. In that time, my depression has been held at bay. As I have prayed, the Lord has graciously granted my plea for peace. Even with the uncertainty and unfamiliar (to me) territory that lies ahead, I am not afraid.

I'm praying as I type. I can't imagine how people without faith make it through difficult times. I'm sorry the biopsy was positive, but thankful that it's treatable. I hope you feel all the power of prayer.
